Civility! Ninjas to teach DC heroes martial arts.

Awesome.

It doesn’t have to be good. It just has to be better than Justice League: Task Force (which has the Long-haried Superman).

I think it’ll be fun. Rumors of removed blood and toned down violence have been floating around, but the trailer still looks plenty gritty, and Batman bleeds a bit as he gets punched. I think they could still have Superman lobotomizing someone as a fatality….at least, I could wish for it.

Almost a bigger question, how are they going to handle Flight? In JL:TF, you could just,..fly. But because of the street fighter perspective anyone could jump kick you out of the sky. Still, unlimited flight and heat vision (spamming QCF+P) really added to the fact you were playing as Superman.

Ironman trailer to be made into full length movie!

I like Ironman

Ironman trailer to be made into full length movie!

As a big Ironman fan, I look forward to this. I think the studio will be able to pull this off, since they managed to get Robert Downey Jr. to reprise his role as Tony Stark from the trailer.

Here’s hoping the game based on the movie based on the trailer based on the comic is just as good.

Title Announced for new X-Files movie: "X-Files: Mystery of the Jumping Sharks"

Title Announced for new X-Files movie: “X-Files: Mystery of the Jumping Sharks”

Well, it is becoming a bit more real:

http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Movies/04/16/film.xfiles.title.ap/index.html

The X-Files is coming back. This used to be one of my favorite shows. After 5-6 seasons (around the time of the movie), they stopped doing clever stand-alone shows and started to focus on the Conspiracy. The alien storyline was done well originally when it was not every episode, which made the individual black oil episodes more interesting. Once that became the central plot-line of the show, connecting each episode to the next, the plot began to, ironically, fall apart.

I never saw the end of the series. Couldn’t bring myself to watch the Terminator-guy do his thing. He wasn’t bad. But after 9 years how skeptical can you still be? As the audience, you damn well KNOW something is odd. The show had to start making REAL explanations (“the ink in the tattoo caused you to hallucinate”) to be the twists.

Will I go see the movie? Probably. But first I’ll have to read up on how everything ended in the TV show.

Apparently: It didn’t.

pLayday: 4/15 – Halo 3

Well, I lent Zazz my copy of CoD4, so I can’t very well pick THAT to play. If everyone who shows has Orange Box we may flip to that. But I think a better idea would be if I (or you) get friends over for split screen fun, then we can stick with Halo.

In fact, try to invite some more random friends in for this lan game. We’ll try to keep the difficulty at a chill level. Emphasis on teamwork. In fact, let’s try the Race game mode on the large maps with vehicles. In preparation for GTA IV. Which you all must buy. Seriously.

We can try multiple teams (3-4 teams, depending on how many people show).

The Darkness Progress Report #1

I’ve recently picked up The Darkness, again. I was about halfway through when it was bumped by Bioshock, which was bumped by Assassin’s Creed (and Kane and Lynch, and Army of Two, and The Simpson’s game). But now I’m back to finish it off. And it is fun.

Jumping between different control schemes is a bit of a pain. In this, the B button is reload, as I had to apparently make X action/eat heart (in my infinite wisdom when I first configured the controls). RB is Dark Power (using your currently selected Dark Power such as: Creeping Thing that goes around on the ground and kills people, Tentacle that can impale people (awesome, but hard to use), Darkness Guns (guns that don’t use ammo in a game where ammo is pretty scarce).

I prefer games where each button directly controls a power, like PsiOps, rather than games that make you cycle through different abilities in order to use them. Whenever I played Jedi Knight, I bound my favorite force powers to specific keys on the keyboard, and Force Push to Mouse3.

Of course, there would then have to be less Powers/Guns, but PsiOps had several powers and all were accessible easily.

Which would you prefer? A massive quantity of weapons and force powers that you can cycle through (cycling doesn’t bother you that much), or sacrifice some in order for a one button = one power/weapon scheme?

pLayday: 4/8 – Halo 3

Let’s go with a staple everyone likes that supports split-screen. Plus, we have a new map we’ve never even played on. The remade blood gultch. And everyone likes Halo.

And kittens. Everyone likes kittens, too.

I object!

don’t tell me the ending to: Phoenix Wright – Ace Attorney

Sometimes, I’m not in front of my TV playing games. Perhaps I’m on a bus, or a car trip, or on the toilet. In these situations, I may be playing either my PSP or DS. Lately, it’s been the DS and the cult title: Phoenix Wright – Ace Attorney.

Originally a port of an old GBA title that was never released outside Japan, the DS version takes little advantage of the touch screen to improve the interface. The game does ooze personality, however, in its cast of eclectic characters. Can a crappy port still be enjoyable if the base game was initially good (but not worth exporting)?

I think so.

The GTA IV Special edition bundle

We are all going to buy GTA IV

That’s right. We don’t have a lot of info on the included multiplayer of GTA IV, but we all know we are going to buy it anyway. I propose this be one of the games we all get for pLayday, as it is potentially (rumored) to have 16 player multiplayer. Does anyone think they won’t end up with this game within a week of launch?

Awesome board game

This is pretty sweet. I wonder how they will get the achievements tied to my live account? Perhaps it’s like the Halo 3 extras dvd, that is actually a game.

I finally beat: Call of Duty 4 – Modern Warfare

I finally beat: Call of Duty 4 – Modern Warfare

Last week, or perhaps 2 weeks ago, I beat CoD4’s single player campaign. After much trial and error, I made it through a particularly hard spot near the end, where you have just a few minutes to beat a level (and don’t receive checkpoints unless you reach it with at least a certain amount of time on the clock). A couple of ‘I’m a fish in a barrel’ hallways filled with enemies later and the credits roll.

But it’s not over. After the credits is one final, extra mission. A mission where you must traverse through a plane filled with terrorists who can shoot through your cover within a 1 minute time limit. And the entire reason this article has been delayed until now. Did I beat it? Or did I give up after playing the same ONE GOD DAMN MINUTE OF MY LIFE FOR FIVE FUCKING HOURS?
